-l
file_name
(Mandatory) Log filename and path
Specifies the log file to record the results of the restore operation.
-r
(Optional) Restore DIB set
Specifies that the eDirectory database should be restored.
WARNING:
If you omit this option, the eDirectory database itself will not be
restored. The only files that will be restored are other kinds of files you specify.
-d
dir_name
(Optional) Roll-forward log directory
Specifies the directory where the roll-forward logs are located. This must be
the entire path and must be on the server being restored. All the roll-forward
logs must be in the directory specified and they must have the same
filenames as they did at the time of creation.
After the database is restored, the changes recorded in these logs are
replayed against the database to bring it up to date. If the -d switch is not
used, the Backup eMTool does not replay any logs against the database,
even if roll-forward logging was turned on at the time of the backup.
To determine the first required roll-forward log, open the last backup file being
restored in a text editor and read the current_log attribute of the backup tag.
The last backup file being restored is either the full backup file specified by the
-f option or the last incremental backup file that is to be applied during the
restore. (For more information about the attributes listed in the header, see
“Format of the Backup File Header” on page 429
.)
WARNING:
When opening a backup file, just view the header—make sure
you don't try to save or modify the file, or it might become truncated. Most
applications can't save the binary data correctly.
-u
(Optional) Restore user included files
Restores the user files that were included with the backup of the database.
As part of the backup, you can create a text file containing a list of files that
you want backed up along with the database, and specify that file as the user
includes file. These files will not be available to restore unless they were
included in the backup.
-a
(Optional) Activate DIB after verifying
Renames the database from RST to NDS after the restore verification
completes successfully. (For an overview of the process, see
“Overview of
How the Backup eMTool Does a Restore” on page 428
.)
-o
(Optional) Open database when finished
Directs the Backup eMTool to open the database when the operation is
complete. If the restore verification is successful, it opens the restored
database. If the restore verification fails, this option opens the database that
was on the machine before the restore was performed. (For an overview of
the process, see
“Overview of How the Backup eMTool Does a Restore” on
page 428
.)
